Another surprise, to us anyway, is that there are giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) all over the place. Once you figuring them out (that great, sloping triangular shape) they become pretty easy to spot. We have been mentally mapping them throughout the SE Olympia region and basically are obsessed, to the point that we look for them everywhere we go. The largest (diameter of base, not height) we have found so far is in Jackson Park in western Tacoma. And we have one on our deck (in a pot) that is now about 12 inches tall--doubled in one year! Oh, and we learned that the predecessor to SPSCC made a lot of seedlings available to the public back in the 60s--probably why there are so many in the suburban areas of town.
